For the past 25 years, I have taught mathematical art and other interdisciplinary courses in the Math Department. My colleague David Rosenthal and I co-designed a computer language called SeeLogo, which is used in many applications, from designing scientific graphics to teaching geometry, statistics, and calculus. But as a committed humanist, I most enjoy soul-to-soul communication with students. SeeLogo can be downloaded from http://www.ithaca.edu/seelogo It is an amazing language with little publicity.

I wrote a book about Mathematical Art that uses SeeLogo and is available freely on the web:http://www.ithaca.edu/dani/SeeLogo/Math_Art/MathArtSeeLogo2009.pdf
